Halloween 2021: The Hauls

I thought I should put all their hauls in one big post rather than drag this one out.

   

Let the trading begin!

Halloween 2021: Trick-or-Treaters

And before we cut to after the trick-or-treating we may as well get them to all pose together for a group shot.

Halloween 2021: Mario Returns

This last year I recycled an older costume because why not? I can still get in on the action but this way, not spending an arm and a leg.

Thunderer stepped in and wanted to join on a pose too.

Halloween 2021: The Trio

And then there were three:

Oddly Newbie appears to have snuck past without getting a solo shot. My assumption is that they got tired of us taking pictures and the end result was us hurrying with this shot instead.

If you’re unfamiliar with Newbie’s costume, she’s Amity Blight from the Disney show Owl House.

We’d originally ordered her costume. In fact, her’s was the first costume we ordered. Thanks to supply chain issues though, it simply never arrived. Fortunately Snow/Little Miss stepped in and helped craft some pieces for Newbie to still pull off the look while she made the staff herself.

Halloween 2021: Pink Cat

Thunderer went for a straightforward “pink cat” costume this year.

It worked quite nicely with her fall jacket, so that works.

Fall Swings

Time for some silly faces while on the swings on this cool fall afternoon in October.

Remote Schooling

It’s certainly been an interesting year as Covid settled in and normalized completely different things… like remote school.

Newbie immediately settled into next to me at my desk like 2020 but Thunderer had a little time adjusting before taking over Redflare’s desk.

Part of the problem for Thunderer, I think, was that she and her cousin were remote into school together at the dining room table last year, so settling into any one place reinforced that her partner wasn’t here anymore.

Next year, now that everybody is vaccinated, we’ll be going back to physical school entirely, so we’ll have to get ready for another readjustment, but I think it’ll be for the best. They’re all ready to go back at this point, so barring some unique new strain, physical school will be back in our lives next fall.

Sleeping Cuddles

They’d been playing with Thunderer’s doll there, and then she just zonked out.

Prepackaged Babies

Since this whole covid mess started I shifted to buying a lot of the basic supplies online, especially once they were available again easily (looking at you, toilet paper.)

Thunderer and Fireball appreciate the big boxes that arrive to play in before they make their way to the recycling.

Sparkles

Now you have to wonder, who shines brighter? Thunderer or the sparkler she’s holding.
